Set to miss multiple weeks Varane will be out "for a few weeks" with a groin injury suffered over the break, according to the team.

Impact This is a tough injury for Varane, especially with Harry Maguire also missing time. Varane may not be ready to return until November, which likely means more playing time for Victor Lindelof and possibly Eric Bailly, pending how Maguire is feeling after the break.

Doubt for Saturday Varane (groin) is considered an early doubt for Saturday's trip to Leicester, reports L'Equipe.

Impact Varane suffered the injury Sunday and will get some tests done at Manchester once he returns to the club. For now, he appears to be a long shot to start Saturday against Leicester, meaning either Harry Maguire will have to return to health or Eric Bailly could start.

Comes off injured during internationals Varane was subbed out of Sunday's UEFA Nations League victory with France in the 42nd minute after suffering an apparent thigh injury.

Impact Varane was forced off in the first half Sunday and will now face a race to fitness this week ahead of Saturday's trip to Leicester. Man United will hope it's not too serious, as Harry Maguire (calf) is also a doubt and this comes with Champions League play on the horizon in an almost must-win spot.

Grabs assist in debut Sunday Varane assisted once, created one chance and made one tackle (one won) during the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton on Sunday.

Impact Varane was able to make his debut with the Red Devils and it could not have gone any better for the Madrid outcast. The defender did not do much statistically, but he made his presence felt right off the bat when Wolverhampton got breakout after breakout. Varane has already begun to cement himself as the partner to teammate Harry Maguire. He also managed to set up the game-winning goal to show the offensive upside he brings from the back. Varane is a great option to consider game in and game out.
